THE case of Dr. Bean, of Cherry VAL
ley, reveals the fact that curious set of
people inhsbit that portion of Winnebsgo
county. Bean was convicted of pecul-
isrly heinous crime, that of by force de-
spelling of her honor young girl to-
wards whom he occupied the con tiden tial
relations of physician. Not only did a
jury of his peers find him guilty of the
crime, but Judge Horton, universally re-
cognized as an able Jurist and logical
reasoner, came to the same conclusion
after careful study of the evidence. In
many quarters the latter fact will carry
even greater weight than the verdict.
But this is not all. For some reason, al.
most unaccountable, if he is really inno-
cent Bean neglected to take the stand in
his own defense. Nevertheless, in spite
of these well known facts, the people OF
Cherry Valley have chosen to make a
hero of the doctor. Upon his return
home under bail. pending the hearing OF
bis case in the supreme court, he was
received at the outskirts of the town by
9 brass band, drawn through the
streets in an open carriage amid the
plaudts of the throng, and on the fol-
lowing evening he was banquetted in the
public hall, at which the most effusive
laudatiOus were showered upon him. II
instead of convicted felon he had beer

worth had reflected the highest honor
upon the community, he could not have
been welcomed with higher marks of es

great crime laid to his charge, but Ger,

had waited until he brought forward

The Great American Disease, Dyspepsia.
Americans as a class eat as much oil with
their salads as did the Venetians in the time
of Medici" said John Chamberlin to a jour-
nalist the other day. But it took a great
many years to overcome their Puritanical
prejudices. In the minds of the descendants
OF the PuritanS there was a strong but un-
conscious association between Catholicism
and French cookery, and oil being extern
sively used by the French in the preparation
OF their food these descendants, like their
ancestors, had strong aversion for it. The
Puritan was never so happy as when he was
uncomfortable. They imagiI ed that to de
serve heaven hereafter they were obliged to
live in sort of modified hell on earth. Ther
rightly concluded that dyspepsia was the best
representation of the tortures of the bottom
less pit, and the surest way to contract it
was 70 eschew oil in their salads This is
the true origin Of the American disease, dys-
pepsia-

IT now seems that the stories with
which the north has been flooded for the
past two weeks regarding the intensely
rebel spirit manifested at the ovation to
JEFF Davis at Macon, are largely, indeed
chiefly, imaginary. Even so staid re-
publican newspaper as the Chicago Epen-
ing journal, perhaps the most steadfast
organ of republican opinion in the whole
northwest is forced to admit this in the
following words, which certainly ought
to be conclusive;
The Joarnal is assured by good and
creditahle witnesses that some of the re-
ports sent out from Macon of the
incidents of the recent reception given to
jeff Davis at the Georgia state fair were
greatly overdrawn as to the event of the
pr0srebel demonstration; that, as mat.
ter of fact, the stars and stripes were
conspicuously displayed. and the rebel
flag kept in the background; that the
only really offensive pro-rebel sentiment
uttered was in General Jackson's grand.
Eloquent address honoring the south fol-
having revoited against alleged tyranny
and that even those eXsConfederate sol
diers who applauded aud cheered him are
now heartily sorry that for moment
their re-awakened war sympathies got
tine better of their patriotic judgment.
We accept these assurances in the spirit
in which they are sent to us, especially
since they are coupled with statement
that during the recent Lee monument
ceremonies at Richmond, Va, the build
ings in all portions of the city We're pro-
fusely decorated by the national colors,
that no rebel flag was visible, and that nc
pro>rebel sentiments were uttered. The
journal has no disposition. no desire
whatever, to reopen old sores nor to SAY
or do aught to perpetuate sectional hos
tility or division, and in this respect the
Journal only reflects the feelings of ths
mass of the northern people.

New York Socialists Drape Their heu rags
and Make Demonstration.
NEW YORK, Nov ll.-Thursday nights
parade of Socialists, intended as protest
against the hanging of the Chicago Anarch
lists, was a peaceable affair. About 5000
men turned out Two hundred policemen
accompanied the procession, and the police
reserves were held in readiness at the various
station houses in case of trouble The process
sion was accompanied by three bands
Of music with muff1ed drums, who
played the Marseiiaise Many red
flags drapei with black were carried. The
line of march was down Broadway to Vesey
street, and thence through Park row and
Bowery to Union square, where a meeting
was held at which resolutions condemning
the execution of the condemned men were
passed. Herr Most and other noted Anarch-
lists were to have spoken at the meeting, but
this part of the programme was abandoned.
The police think that if there had been any
fiery speeches there might have been trouble
There were few black flags carried as well
as red ones, and some transparencies bearing
such notices as: aye Sons OF Toll, Awake to
Glory" "Gallows Against Liberty Beware
the Instruction SALONS, Enfants De La
Patrie," ETC. The "Dead March in Saul al
ternated with the "Marseilles' hymn from
the bands. The police escort did not march
directly with the procession. One detach-
ment moved through parallel streets, just
| within sight while another followed quite a
distance behind in Broadway. The idea OF
